HOW TO PLAY INSTANT CASH

A monthly game card is inserted in Weekend Magazine on a Saturday.

Scratch off the panel with with the current week's dates on it. If you reveal three identical cash amounts you can claim that amount.

If you haven’t got three matches immediately, keep checking the paper as we will print a bonus cash amount every day. If that bonus cash amount matches two of the cash amounts on your card – to complete a set of three – you have won that cash prize.
